Last one in the reader's favourite discovery of 2010 series. This one is from Maxx O.
Delphic are an electronic/indie three piece that aims to be the future sound of Manchester, by mixing euphoric electronica with anthemic songs for a post-dance world. The group who formed in 2009, is made up of James Cook, Matt Cocksedge and Richard Boardman. They are also accompanied by Dan Hadley on drums.
Prior to Delphic, Cocksedge and Boardman were in the guitar-driven indie band Snowfight in the City Centre, but when that group split, the pair wanted to make music people could dance to. They connected with Cook and, following in the footsteps of New Order, mixed dance beats and synths with live drums and guitars.
They worked with dance producer Ewan Pearson on their April 2009 debut single Counterpoint, which was released by a Belgian label. In August 2009, the group issued single This Momentary on the french record label Kitsuné.
Debut album, Acolyte arrived early in 2010 on their own imprint Chimeric via Polydor, and earned critical acclaim. Delphic were named one of the 15 acts shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2010 (they ended up placing third).
